Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, do not park
or run the engine over areas where
inflammable substances and materials
are present: grass, leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position


N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 25 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-

d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10
km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Never drive in a depth of water which
could cover the axles, the wheel shafts
and which could enter the exhaust.

For Diesel vehicles, when
the engine is cold, starting
does not take place until the
pre-heater warning lamp has
gone off.
If one of the starting conditions is not
met, a reminder message appears in
the instrument panel screen. In some
circumstances, it is necessary to
turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the "
START/STOP " button
to assist unlocking of the steering;
a message warns you when this is
needed.
The presence of the electronic key in
the defined zone is essential. For safety
reasons, do not leave this area when
the engine is running.
Switching off using the
electronic key
If the vehicle is not immobilised, the
engine will not switch off.
This message is displayed
when the driver's door is
opened and the vehicle is not
in "OFF" mode.

the " START/STOP " button once more to try
again.
The presence of the electronic key
in the vehicle is essential only for
switching on the ignition and for starting
the engine. Once the engine has
started, make sure that the electronic
key remains with the vehicle until the
end of the journey: other wise you would
not be able to lock the vehicle.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss
of braking assistance.

Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) system
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "AS &G" warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel or the instrument
panel screen and the engine goes into
standby after a few seconds:
- with a manual gearbox , with the vehicle
stationary and your foot on the brake, when
you put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the START/STOP
button. When the engine is stopped
automatically, the operation of certain
vehicle systems, such as braking
and power steering for example, are
modified. Ta k e c a r e .
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
t he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he driver's door is open,
-

t
he bonnet is open,
-

t
he minimum time period of 30 seconds
since starting the engine has not elapsed,
-

t
he vehicle speed has not exceeded 3 mph
(5 km/h) since the last engine start,
-

t
he vehicle has restarted less than
10
seconds ago,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-

d
emisting is active,
-

s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature, etc.) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system,
-
the "AS &G" warning lamp is
flashing in the instrument panel.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) system puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The engine
restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
If you move the gear lever, the "AS &G"
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by
an audible signal.
The alert stops as soon as the gear
lever is returned to the neutral position.
When driving, prolonged pressing of the
clutch pedal may cause a malfunction
of the Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go)
system.
